>>Are you familier with the term... The Divine Office?<<

And that would be found in scripture where?

Why don't you ask the Pharisees?

The Divine Office of readings is actually scripture and is also referred to as the Liturgy of the Hours.

As a Deacon, the subject of the article likely prayed over 3 Psalms, read a substantial section of Hebrews Chapter 1 and studied a letter from an early church Father earlier today... and he will go into scripture in a similar way tomorrow seeking the will of God and a relationship with Christ.

Many other devout Catholics, and especially the clergy, engage in this same practice multiple times a day. You know nothing of this man’s prayer life.

“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours. In this way the Church fulfills the Lord’s precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world.” — Office of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship.

Rather, the Scripture is found within the Divine Office. The faithful recite Scripture, prayers, and meditation throughout the day, so that around the world there is prayer being offered to God at all times- just as in the Bible, in Revelation, the “Holy Holy Holy” was prayed without ceasing.
